Description

[0001] The present invention refers to a backrest for armchairs of the ones situated in show and conference rooms, including a disposition which determines the assembly of a headrest header according to an advantageous realization.

[0002] The armchairs which are used in show and conference rooms at present are sometimes foreseen of headrests so as to offer some more comfortable conditions for the user, being the backrest normally made up of a set which includes a soft front body and a rear frame.

[0003] The headrest can be made up directly at the upper part of the backrest, or it can be an independent element which is incorporated in an accessory way and with disassembly possibility.

[0004] In the case of headrests which build an only piece with the backrest, the constructive realization of the set is complicated and expensive, moreover with the inconvenience that the headrest cannot be separated from the backrest, not being it possible to individually clean or substitute one or the other independently.

[0005] In the case of the headrests made up of an element which is independent from the backrest the fixing of the mentioned headrests is carried out, according to a conventional solution by means of some rods leaving the headrest which are introduced in receiving connections included in the backrest; which has the inconvenience that the headrests can easily be disconnected, being it possible that any unauthorized people can take them away, being this a problem in public places, which is where the mentioned armchairs are normally situated.

[0006] With the structural solution of the backrest object of the invention, the mentioned inconveniences of the headrest disposition of the conventional realizations are solved, based on a novel realization of the assembly disposition.

[0007] The backrest object of the invention is made up, as it is already known, of a soft front body and a rear frame, determining the soft body a notch or recess, where a respective soft element, component of the headrest, is fitted in and which establishes moreover a fitting respect to a corresponding rear frame, with fixing on it by means of hooks, establishing moreover through the mentioned frame a screwed fastening with respect to a frame which is solidarily included in the soft element of the headrest at the same time, by means of this fastening the fixing anchoring of the headrests is determined in the disposition respect to the backrest.

[0008] This way a headrest disposition is obtained which is easy to assemble, which can be even with the backrest or stand out upwards and even with the soft element inserted centrally along the whole height of the backrest, with possibility, in any case, to be disassembled for its cleaning or the particular substitution of any of the individual elements of the headrest or of the backrest.

[0009] The disassembly of the headrest requires however a practical manipulation, which hinders that it can be taken away by any unauthorized people in an unscrupulous way.

[0010] In view of all this, the mentioned backrest object of the invention certainly has some very advantageous features, acquiring own life and preferable character respect to the known realizations of the backrests of the same type.

Figure 10 is an amplified detail of the upper part of the backrest, in section and with the front element of the headrest separated from its assembly position.

[0011] The object of the invention refers to a backrest for armchairs, particularly of the ones used in show and conference rooms, including a set (1) of the backrest itself, which is situated fastened respect to a supporting structure (2) anchored to the ground, while at the upper part it incorporates a headrest (3) for the user's comfort.

[0012] The shape and dimensions of the backrest set (1) as well as the supporting structure (2) and the headrest (3) itself, can vary without altering the concept which is pretended to claim, which is the disposition of the headrest assembly (3) respect to the backrest set (1).

[0013] The backrest set (1) is made up of a soft front body (1.1) and a rear frame (1.2), these elements are correspondingly connected to one another, establishing a fixed fastening between them by means of hooking between the respective reciprocal conformations (4) and anchoring by means of screwed fastening (5), in the way shown on figures 3 and 4.

[0014] The headrest (3) includes in turn a soft front element (3.1) and a respective rear frame (3.2), these elements are also correspondingly connected to one another, establishing the fixing between them by means of some retaining hooks at the upper part and a screwed fastening at the lower part.

[0015] To the effects the soft element (3.1) component of the headrest (3) includes absorbed in its material a structure (6), as it is shown in exploded detail in figure 8, which has solidarity at the upper part a transversal bar (7), while lower it has a crossbar (6.1), on which a bushing (8) is solidarity threaded internally, and which leaves towards the rear part of the soft element (3.1), as it is observed on figure 10.

[0016] The frame (3.2) component of the headrest (3) determines at the internal upper part some conformations (9) in the way of hooks, respect to which the fastening of the bar (7) of the frame (6) of the soft element (3.1) is possible, while the mentioned frame (3.2) has beyond a hollow bushing (10), which in the assembly disposition corresponds faced with the bushing (8) of the frame (6) of the soft element (3.1).

[0017] The soft front body (1.1) of the backrest set (1) determines at the upper part a notch or recess (11), where the fitting of the soft headrest (3) element (3.1) is possible; having the mentioned soft front body (1.1) of the backrest set (1) a frame (12) which passes transversely through the recess (11), as it can be observed on figures 4 and 5.

[0018] In the assembly disposition, the frame (3.2) component of the headrest (3) is situated partially superposed at the back at the upper part of the rear frame (1.2) of the backrest set (1), as it can be observed on figures 9 and 10, passing the hollow bushing (10) of the mentioned frame (3.2) of the headrest (3) through a hole in the rear frame (1.2) of the backrest set (1), while a transversal wall (13) of the inside of the mentioned body (3.2) of the headrest (3) is supported on the upper edge of the mentioned rear frame (1.2) of the backrest set (1).

[0019] Once this way, on the front part, the soft element (3.1) of the headrest (3) is incorporated, fitting the mentioned soft element (3.1) in the frame (3.2) so that the bar (7) of the structure (6) hooks in the conformations (9) of the mentioned frame (3.2), and once established the hooking the soft element (3.1) is tilted so that it fits perfectly in the recess (11) of the soft front body (1.1) of the backrest set (1).

[0020] In that disposition the threaded bushing (8) of the structure (6) of the soft element (3.1) opposedly corresponds with the hollow bushing (10) of the frame (3.2) so that through them a anchoring fastening can be established by means of a screwing element (14), assuring this way the fixing of the assembly.

[0021] As it is observed on figure 9, the threaded bushing (8) of the structure (6) of the soft element (3.1) remains in touch under the upper transversal section of the frame (12) of the soft front body (1.1) of the backrest set (1), with which a vertical retention against the established hooking over the conformations (9) of the frame (3.2) is established, not allowing the disconnection.

[0022] The represented realization only corresponds to an example of the headrest shape (3), without limitative character, as within the concept of the invention, which refers to the connection disposition and fastening of the headrest respect to the backrest set (1), the mentioned headrest (3) can also have other shapes, such as for example, according to an even configuration with the upper part of the backrest set (1), or with an extension of the soft element (3.1) hooked along the whole height of the soft front body (1.1) of the backrest set (1), or any other compatible shape with the particular headrest (3) assembly according to the invention.
